Odysseus hears the song and thinks to join them, as the siren song will cause a man to lose all sense of survival and swim to the cliffs which surround the island the sirens live upon and in that way drown - or the man might try to navigate the ship onto the shore and in this way crash upon the reefs. The end result in both cases would be death. The Sirens themselves were trying to convince him that they knew the way home, and they could tell him, if only he came to them.
